Drillhole
Import
Function
This
command allows you import existing drillhole files. When you select
Drillhole
Import
from the Drillhole menu, a
command prompt shows:
"Use seperate
drillhole and strata files [Yes/<No>]?" If
you have two seperate files, one with strata info, and the other file
has drillhole locations, select Yes. If you enter Yes, the dialog
box below appears.
This command
creates drillholes from the data
contained in text files. Currently there are many
company-specific formats. A Drillhole Data File Formatter that is
flexible
to handle almost any drillhole text file format is below. The format to
use is chosen in the
dialog shown here.
The import text
can have comma delimited, space delimited or fixed
width columns of data. All the data for a record should be on one row.
For the fixed width
format, choose the Fixed Width toggle and then enter the column numbers
separated by spaces in the
edit box. For example, "8 15 24 32".
The Custom
format can import all the drillhole and strata data from
one text file or the
drillhole data from one file and the strata data from another file. The
method to use is set at the
Use separate drillhole and strata files prompt.
